Is thsi a C++ specific question? You might want to do this via a command line as the tools are already available for you.
If you must do this from within another program, I'd suggest you fork/exec a child process and execute the ping command. Use the return value of that to determine if ping was successful.

Ping is fairly well tested. I'm pretty sure that is 'works'. What about it doesn't seem to be working for you? If there are major problems with your version maybe think about getting a new version and installing it again.
In either case, if all you are doing is using ping to test connectivity to a well known address you can do that purely in sockets code.
I'm not familiar with Solaris so you'll have to google for insight on how to use sockets on Solaris.
